MIlKY OIL????? Scared in PA! HELP
#11
New member, just purchased 2001 with 95k miles and looks to be well maintained. Carfax shows first owner / first 58k miles were dealer serviced. Less assurance with second owner. I've done most recommended fluid changes etc. upon purchasing truck. Are these trucks really that predisposed to blow head gaskets, etc.?
Also, I am getting an education on the "three amigos" deal, but still don't fully understand the connection or significance of this issue. I'll keep researching the forums, but if anyone can give a quick rundown on this, it will be appreciated.

If you've got ABS/TC issues, get the codes read first and go from there. It could also be seriously worn rotors causing harmonic vibration and throwing a sensor fault. At 95k, you're at the right mileage for hubs to start failing and almost certainly overdue for front rotors. I'm at 94k, and did front rotors & pads and replaced the driver-side front hub within the last 1000 miles.

Three amigos
Thanks, makes sense. Having said that, a wheel speed sensor problem doesn't seem too huge. Still seems like a lot of focus on the forums on the three amigos. I realize there are other potential causes that it is important to rule in or out - I take it some have considerable financial consequences...
